@ARTICLE{10.21494/ISTE.OP.2020.0582, TITLE={Random walk on finite extensions of lattices}, AUTHOR={Vignon Oussa, }, JOURNAL={Advances in Pure and Applied Mathematics}, VOLUME={12}, NUMBER={Issue 1 (January 2021)}, YEAR={2021}, URL={http://openscience.fr/Random-walk-on-finite-extensions-of-lattices}, DOI={10.21494/ISTE.OP.2020.0582}, ISSN={1869-6090}, ABSTRACT={We obtain a precise formula for the probability that a random walker returns to the origin after n steps on some semi-direct product groups obtained by extending a Euclidean lattice by a finite group. Prior to this work, to the best of our knowledge, for the class of groups considered, only asymptotic estimates were available in the literature.}}
